Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Symbols view on Ubuntu or Windows by creating a folder and pressing Delete, then inspect the Symbols view's keyboard handling and filter input path. Done means Delete no longer inserts a character into the filter and a configured Delete keybind works as expected; verify behavior on both reported platforms.

Description

Component: UI Effort: Trivial Impact: Low UI: Symbols

Version and Platform (required):

  • Binary Ninja Version: 4.1.5741-dev
  • OS: Ubuntu and Windows
  • OS Version: 24.04 and 10
  • CPU Architecture: aarch64 and x64

Bug Description:
When you hit delete on a folder in symbols view, it places a delete character into the filter instead.

Steps To Reproduce:

  1. Make a new folder in symbols view
  2. Hit delete on that folder

Note that I cannot get this to reproduce on macOS.

Expected Behavior:
Well, because we don't actually set that keybind by default, nothing should happen. But, if you set the keybind, you'll also notice it doesn't work when it presumably should.
